SIR: ] seen your letter to the postmast-
er of this place in regard to M. N. Purdy,
and take the liberty of writing a reply.
Will say that have lived at this place
for nineteen years, and have followed
the milling business, and for my stand
ing will refer you to Dunn's or Brad.
streets Commercial Agency. l have
known M. N. Purdy for ten or twelve
years, and have always known him TO be
honest and square In his dealings. The
disabilities he received in the army has
made it impossible for him to do hard
work, but he has been doing something
all of the time, farming what he could
and trading in horses and cattle. He
has large family, and they are well be.
haved and civil children. He is well
thought of here by those who have done
business with him. The Norris family
have been making business OF sporting
and bulldozlng, and the three brothers
made up their minds to do Mute up, and
he would not stand it, and if he had shot
the other two it would have been good
thing. The trial will not come off until
the September term, and il you people
can help him you will be doing q good
deed. / was the first man to 60 on his
bond, which is $4,000, followed by T..

and hope and think that Mute will get
clear, and this Is the wish of nearly all
of the people here.

REFUSED THEM VOTES.

Ladies' who Could Not Vote. Despite the
Fact They Were Intelligent, Law
Abiding CItixens.
A number of ladies offered their votes
at a recent election in Fredonia, N. Y.
but the inspectors refused to receive
them. The Fredonia Censor says:
"When the fourteen ladies came to
offer their ballots at the polls of Dis
trict No. 1, there stood by the rail an
old town drunkard and pauper. He
was pretty drunk then. and the express
sion on his face, as he watched the in
effectual efforts of the ladies to have
their votes taken. would have been
amusing if the import of it had not be-
tOkened such rank injustice. The
ladies' were among our best-intelli-
gent God-fearing, some Of them
heavy taxpayers; but that ignorant.
besotted pauper had more direct voice
in the government than all of them.
yes. more than all the women in the
Empire State. Yet all these women
are amenable to the laws, and most of
them have paid school. village, town,
county and State taxes for years; are
taxed to support that very old drunk
ards family every winter. but they
can not even vote for the choice of the
pOormaster who disburses their
money. nor for officers to prohibit the
sale of the liquor which consumes
most of his earnings. He was evident
ly conscious of his great superiority
even as he steadied himself against the
rail in front of the inspectors, and as
the ladies turned sadly away. and he
looked after them with drunken
grin. we thought that the photograph
of that scene, posted in any polling
place. would convey more conviction
of the injustice of our present suffrage
laws than volumes of printed or hours
of oral argument.

a~ter.
The Louisville C0urier-Journal lately
drew an appalling picture of the re-
suits of 1.-The higher education" upon
the feminine character. Being mildly
criticised rs provincial by a Boston
paper. and advised to visit Wellesley
and Vassar and the Harvard Annex,
Mr. Wattcrson undauntedly retorts:
lit was just those great educational
resorts for diverting the pure, clear
stream of womanhood from its God
created channels which we had in
mind. We may. indeed, be provincial,
for we love woman too well to wish to
make man of her."
The editor of the Courier-,Iournal
has shifted his ground. In his former
editorial, he claimed that to educate a
woman was generally to make her
a person of intidel opinions and prof
ligate life. Now he intimatcs that to
educate her is Ito make man of her. ~
Does this imply that manliness is
synonymous with 'fnfidelity and dirt?"

Climbing over the rail fence, /
walked on to the crest of the little
hill. catching confused rattle of girl
voices. as approached the source of
the blue smoke, which /, at length,
saw proceeded from no windrows of
dry leaves and grass, but from a
cracking fire of dry. dead beech limbs
and strips OF hickory bark. The first
glance was a disappointment to ME.

ugly, matter-of-fact young woman of

perhaps solely, because it was notori-
ously known that she was wrapped up
in an inorlinate liking for me. All

crest of the westward bend OF the river.
We dawdlcd and dall:cd with Time in
u delightful saunter that had no fixed
and memorable law of termination, and
which both strOve to prolong to the
latest.
Again the moon was up anu the river
dancing with the CLEANS of yellow
torches where jack-boats Of g:cen pat
tern carried their crews Of amateur
fishermen along the rising and falling
runs of numerous ''trOt-lines." The
sound of oars jerSed against the up
right pegs of row-lOcks, the fall of Il
paddle or gig" upon the bottom of
boat; the calls Of the fishermen one to
another; the whistle of wild duck s
swift wings overhead; the black
silhouettes OF horses and riders water
ing" ut the ''ferry," the cries of un-
known night-birds and beasts, all ex-
aggerated by the resonant waters and
woods; Ill made strange and weird by
the dim shadows of broken woodlands
and strips of prairie against which
great trees burning from root
branch. vcritablc pillars of fire reach
ing up and beyond the black horizon
into unmeasurcd heights of sky-thesc
were sights and sounds that. empha-
sized with tender clasping and twin
ing of arms about each other and
silent and prolonged pressure of warm
| lips tOgethcr-made this an evening
of drcamful romance that could not
bear the glaring light of day. Nay,
that faded away before the strong
glare of Bogusses night lamps in thu
bar-room and in the entry.
Leaving me with a final pressure OF
hands little way from the entry Pol
ly ran in. and on upstairs.
Following with weary deliberation
was in time to see and hear the judge.
Joe Ellet and Bogus in what might
have been continuance of the morn
ing's conversation in the jimson jungle.
What did tell You. Bogus the
judge was saying. very significantly.
and rolling his glitte ing eyes to the
left without moving his head. and yet
not being able to ge: them far enough
to the left TO bring the bury form of
Bogus Leatherwood within the axis of
vision.
"Whut?" said Bogus. shortly, and
looking round at the judge. who. with
his back to the counter, rested his long
elbows upon it and stretched his long
legs out upon the floor in an undigni-
fed sprawl not habitual to him.
"Why Joe h-yuh has jist gut 4 lettah
from Bob Tunnycliff saying that his
boss can't run. sub! Can't run! And
the hundred dollahs fawfeit money is

Joe said that was it exactly.

coolly. and rubbing his nose with hi
brawny fist.
